8th September 2019

It's a first week on top for a-ha's 1985 The Sun Always Shines On TV classic which topped my chart for 5 weeks in January/Feb of 86, and now belatedly gets a 6th, stopping Agnes grabbing a 6th with I Trance (for now). Snow Patrol get a second top 10 (the other being Set Fire To The Third bar in 2006 which hit 3 - I don't tend to go for their big hits!), Shallou & Colin get a first, and Lana Del Ray gets her third top 40 of the year.

In a tough week when Ive had no free time, only 4 new entries, Tove Lo bringing along Kylie for the latter's zillionth chart entry (I have no idea how many she's had, but it's a lot!), Adam Lambert extending his chart career to 9 years, and the listing is cut down to a more manageable 80. Phew!
